Good morning not from TD Garden. Because of Northeastern's graduation at the Garden today, neither the Bruins nor the Flyers will skate at the rink this morning.

Tonight, the Bruins will look to close out the Flyers, something they failed to do in four attempts last season. A big welcome to our friends at NESN, who are finally back to work -- NBC and Versus had exclusive rights to Games 1-3 -- airing tonight's game.

Red Sox (who?) pregame will air on NESN from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Sox-Twins game will be carried on NESNplus.

Storylines: The Bruins are 16-1 all-time when leading a series 3-0. They have swept 12 of those 17 series... The Flyers are 1-6 all-time when falling into an 0-3 hole...
Steve Kozari and Stephen Walkom will be the referees. Brian Murphy and Steve Miller will be the linesmen. Miller is the linesman involved in the controversy concerning the location of the puck from Game 6 of last year's Stanley Cup.
